About me

I’m Saining Zhang, a Ph.D. student in the College of Computing and Data Science at Nanyang Technological University, supervised by Prof. Hanwang Zhang. I am currently working as a research intern on MLLM at Huawei Singapore. My research interest includes computer vision, computer graphics and embodied AI.

Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2024, where I was supervised by Prof. Hao Zhao from the Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR), Tsinghua University.
